I love to teach and work with students. I believe that ALL students can learn and be successful if they are taught in a manner that works for the student. I want every one of my students to have a positive learning experience and will do my best to provide a constructive and nurturing environment for each and every student to reach his/her potential. My love of learning was greatly influenced by my teachers. I still remember them and try to emulate their genuine love of the material and their love of all their students. Great teachers made a difference in my life and I want to make a difference in my students' lives too. I am an experienced math and science teacher and currently teach a variety of math and science courses at a private school in Columbus. Before that, I was an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and ran a research laboratory in th

I am currently working towards earning my Master's in Early Childhood Education. I truly love the field of education. I recognize that all students learn in different ways.

As a father of three, I love to teach through example. As much as possible, I love to use practical illustrations to emphasize points and to give the child/student a better understanding of its application. I tend to learn best visually and through repetition and would incorporate that style into my teaching efforts. My goal in teaching would be patience, demanding but considerate, firm but fair. I worked my way through college, working full-time and attending classes whenever possible. I graduated from Ohio State with a degree in mathematics, majoring in the field of Actuarial Science. So, I know the value of accomplishment through perseverance and determination. As a full-time employee, I deal with statistical data and clientele daily. I have excellent communication skills both oral and written and use these skills extensively dealing with the public. I have a substitute teachi

I love working with children of all ages and I believe that all children should have an equitable education. Because of the skills and abilities I possess in reading I have been able to help my own child achieve beyond her grade level and she is currently in the gifted program for reading. Because I am a school counselor by profession I make sure that I always listen to students and help them overcome any obstacles they may face. I believe that with individual attention all students are capable of excelling in their academics. During my undergraduate studies at OSU I was trained by Americorps to tutor elementary students in reading and math. I worked for two years in the Columbus Public School System helping students that were behind their grade level in those subject areas. In my current high school position I teach a Career Based Intervention class and I assist students with their Engl

Graduating from a liberal arts univeristy with a Bachelor's degree in Biology along with a minor in Chemistry has provided for me an incredibly well rounded educational experience. I have a solid understanding of the the natural sciences along with comprehensive lab experience in anatomy, physiology, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, along with other disciplines. As a Junior and Senior I found it very rewarding to help the younger students grasp biochemical concepts. Since I find Biochemical processes so exciting, it is easy for me to get other students excited about them as well. Many students feel that the sciences are boring and dull. However, when I explain the processes to the students in their own terms instead of the textbooks they begin to realize that it can be fun! The first step to getting a student to understand the natural sciences is to spark some interest. This can b

I believe in lifelong education as indicated in my diversified background. I have experience in education, government, and business, obviously, I am always interested in a challenge and assisting students who are having difficulties is one of those challenges. I have just returned from a year in Italy where I worked with high school seniors to be admitted to universities in Britain, Europe and United States. Also, I tutored students in English and am certified to teach English as a Second Language. If I can be a motivating influence in a young person's life, I could not think of a more rewarding achievement. As a teacher, I am organized and prepared to find and use any method, technique, and hook in a collaborative effort for performance improvement or to meet the expectations of any individual student. The core value of my life has been education in many different forms.

I have taught at 3 community colleges algebra I, II, geometry, and trigonometry. I have 5 years teaching high school algebra and geometry. I am certified to teach in Maryland and my Ohio teaching certificate is pending. I have also edited math textbooks for McGraw-Hill. I have tutored individual students both in the capacity of my regular teaching jobs as well as a private tutor. I prefer whole class instruction where students work together to determine mathematical knowledge and develop skills. As the teacher, I prefer to facilitate by choosing the lesson topics aligned with curriculum with activities that promote maximum learning by students cooperatively discovering mathematical concepts.

I am a recent graduate of The Ohio State University, where I earned my BS in Microbiology. My strong background in science and mathematics allowed me to tutor students in both chemistry and microbiology during my time as an undergraduate. Being the daughter of an English teacher, my writing skills were further polished by time spent in college English classes and writing countless lab reports in microbiology, chemistry, and biochemistry. I've worked with both high school and college students, both gifted and disadvantaged students, and I believe that the key to being a successful tutor is understanding your student and how he/she learns. Through my experiences, I've learned how to explain subject matter in a way that enables students to repeat back to me in their own words what I just explained. This is critical. I believe students learn best by understanding first, and memorizing when a

While I have not tutored academically in the past, I have taught my community's equivalent of the DARE program to fourth grade classes for two years and have also taught art lessons to children of all ages. I feel very strongly that every child has the ability to learn when they are given the right encouragement. While working on my Japanese minor I quickly discovered that finding a method that works for an individual student is the most important part of studying productively. I feel that my fresh, creative outlook will supplement the classroom experience well and offer alternative methods to learning that may not be available at your child's school.
